Document Summary

Key concepts in organic chemistry: haloalkanes (usselman version) The general formula of saturated mono-halo acyclic alkanes is cnh2n + 1x. Count the x as an h for the units of unsaturation calculation. The names of the given halo functional groups are as follows: f = fluoro, cl = chloro, br = bromo, i = iodo. It is essential to recognize the type if alkyl halide. A primary alkyl halide (1 ), rchx, defines the carbon bearing the halogen as bonded to only one carbon group. R2ch2x, defines the carbon bearing the halogen as bonded to two carbon groups. A tertiary alkyl halide (3 ), r3cx, defines the carbon bearing the halogen as bonded to three carbon groups. Sp2 c-x bonds are much less polar due to the electrons being closer. The major reaction of haloalkanes is nucleophilic substitution, in which the halogen atom is replaced by a nucleophilic group.
